Message To Self

Message To Self (my digital music composition)

Message to self:

You are what you eat-

that tasty and delicious meat

of creatures legally tortured in life

and terrorized in painful death

-without conscience or integrity-

-without mercy or gratitude-

-an insatiable greed for sacrifice.

You are what you eat.

Can you face this truth of all that you’ve become?

Investigate and educate yourself.

You’ll see there’s so much more.

Your body has no true need

to be a human carnivore

when Nature offers so much more

healthy fare to feed your body’s need.

Your cells will sing with gratitude.

Another one free of the heartless tyranny,

all Nature will sing with gratitude,

thankful for what you eat

and all you’ll now become.

Not About You

Not About You  (my digital music composition)

Not About You

Not About You

When all is said and done,

‘your life is not about you.’

What effect did you have in the lives of others?

What do you see as you review?

How did you touch the lives of others?

How did you make them feel?

What did you offer to the lives of others?

What do your days reveal?

When all is said and done,

‘your life is not about you.’

(Shelley Wilson/December 2014)

why i understand

why i understand   (my digital music composition)

i have feasted in Palaces of Power

and starved, powerless, In The Streets…

i’ve been exalted in Victory’s Hours

and denigrated in Days of Defeat…

so many Lives, so many Griefs-

so many Lives, so many Beliefs…

i’ve shouted the loud, angry Battle Cry

and used a small, soft Voice to Question Why…

i’ve seen this World through many Views

and acted (sometimes) on Love’s Clear Cues…

sometimes i ignore or attune to my Soul

whispering ‘Only Love’ as the Glorious Goal

(not ‘Stuff or Status’, Wealth or Fame)

as i travel Life’s Journeys and play Life’s Games…

i’ve explored many Values, both Dark and Light,

to find Understanding and gain Insight…

sometimes i Remember, sometimes i Forget

but each Life is precious and none i regret

whether Human or Other- as in Lives yet to be

Creating and Evolving through Love’s Energy…

judgements

Still Silence   (my digital music composition)

was Narcissus enchanted

by the Beauty of his Reflection

like Philosophers, Poets, Thinkers even today…

was he deep or shallow as they say…

did Narcissus clearly see

the Wonder and Beauty of God

reflected in Life’s Mirror,

every Atom created by Love…

was Narcissus stuck in vanity

or was he simply enraptured

in A Moment’s Eternity

seeing All Life as being Love…

what say Ye Love…

(With Love, Shelley)

Fairies In The Moonlight

Fairies In The Moonlight (my digital music composition)

Hush the ever restless mind

and thoughts of things to do.

Quiet the mind. Quiet the heart.

Banish all that burdens you.

Silence the noise of mundane life

and inner chatter too.

Listen. Do you hear them,

the ones heard by so few?

There, beneath the moonlight

amidst the flowers and dew,

the astral fairies gather-

all dressed in every hue.

Ethereal, other-world beings,

yet they laugh and dance and woo

in starry astral realms

and moonlit gardens too.

Hush. Can you now hear them?

Their dance begins anew…
